Visuo-Tactile World Models
Carolina Higuera, Sergio Arnaud, Byron Boots +3
We introduce multi-task Visuo-Tactile World Models (VT-WM), which capture the physics of contact through touch reasoning. By complementing vision with tactile sensing, VT-WM better…
Tactile Beyond Pixels: Multisensory Touch Representations for Robot Manipulation
Carolina Higuera, Akash Sharma, Taosha Fan +8
We present Sparsh-X, the first multisensory touch representations across four tactile modalities: image, audio, motion, and pressure. Trained on ~1M contact-rich interactions colle…
Self-supervised perception for tactile skin covered dexterous hands
Akash Sharma, Carolina Higuera, Chaithanya Krishna Bodduluri +9
We present Sparsh-skin, a pre-trained encoder for magnetic skin sensors distributed across the fingertips, phalanges, and palm of a dexterous robot hand. Magnetic tactile skins off…
Sparsh: Self-supervised touch representations for vision-based tactile sensing
Carolina Higuera, Akash Sharma, Chaithanya Krishna Bodduluri +8
In this work, we introduce general purpose touch representations for the increasingly accessible class of vision-based tactile sensors. Such sensors have led to many recent advance…
